Russian Kettlebells found me back in 2013. A series of unrelated events that pointed me in the direcion of kettlebells. I was really just looking for a fresh workout. I was bored and not getting results with traditional weight training. Little did I know that kettlebells would give me my life back after struggling withContinue reading "Kettlebell Magic"
Critique Night
It was mid-term critique night recently in my print class. I remember the first critique I had my very first critique. I was so nervous and anxious, so much so that I thought I was going to throw up when the butterflies started flipping in my stomach. There were so many thoughts going through myContinue reading "Critique Night"
Finding Your Passion
We all have been given the advice to find our passion. That we must find our passion to truly be happy. I remember hearing this catch phrase and asking myself what my passion was. I really had no clue what it would be or even how to find it. I continued to try and findContinue reading "Finding Your Passion"
What if?….
The frst print project complete for this term. What a challenging project full of opportunities, mistakes, and successes. What more could you want out of a project.

Let’s Do Litho
I have to say when the instructor first described the lithography project I was not particularly interested in it. I felt like I so did not want to do this project. The plate preparation and whole printing process completely did not appeal to me. It sounded like something so far from my style of printmaking.Continue reading "Let’s Do Litho"
Dragonfly Exposure
Onto the photo emulsion project. For this project we had to do a design with at least two photo emulsion exposures. I decided on a dragonfly theme for this project. I wanted to project to have multiple design elements. The dragonflies would be the primary elements but I also wanted to work with layering, incorporatingContinue reading "Dragonfly Exposure"
